And that's the end game for the shit bags that abuse the system. They don't want a legitimate judicial system. It's now about how can they gain the most money and power.

We (lawyers) are actually already ethically obligated to serve up bad lawyers for discipline. It's Rule 8.3, colloquially known as the duty to rat out your colleagues.

How would that even work? Do murderers not get an attorney any longer? Who's harm should we consider? I have to represent my clients' interests, period.

The issue with the law is the delay. If I take a civil case to trial it has usually taken 3-5 years. And five years isn't nearly the longest case I've had. Spend more money, have more judges, fewer delays, but that costs money and we've been cutting taxes for 40+ years now.

Don't know if you know this but Hippocratic oath is a) voluntary and b) not enforceable for people who work in medicine. Also the Hippocratic oath came from medics treating enemy soldiers on battlefields. The idea being that a medical professional wouldn't refuse to treat someone because the patient they're treating clashes with their personal beliefs. Modern example being a Christian nurse or Dr refusing to treat a gay patient.

I'm fortunate enough to be practicing in a field that does help people (though not nearly as much as I'd like...someone give me Elon's money and then I'll be able to make a real difference). The problem is that lawyers/judges like the ones who are handling cases like Trump's are destroying the rule of law, the efficacy of the courts, and doing whatever they can to dismantle the very system we use to determine whether we have rights or not (dismantle it and the answer is a very clear "not"). The US legal system is already a clusterfuck with not enough budget and inequitable treatment depending on who you are; if things like precedent no longer mean anything, as SCOTUS has recently started making clear, then the legal system becomes completely unnavigable.
